But what's your point? I've been use extremes to point out that all software is at risk. To claim it only has 4% is a weak argument, because as LinuxWorld states it is/will be getting exploited more and more (if it continues to gain in popularity).
I'm not really saying IE or windows is the best platform on the earth, but I'm saying it's getting a bad wrap because of zealots. This goes back to the very first "discussion" you and I had. OSS zealots keep changing the target everytime Microsoft hits a bulls-eye or whenever their arguments are proven wrong.
Like OSS is more secure because it has more eyes on the code. I believe that argument has been pretty much debunked by now.
Or when OSS fanboys claim cell phones with only 100K users are hacked, so that's proof Linux/Mac/FF/etc... get hacked at the same rate as windows. Once again this just doesn't stand up to logic and reason.
When all these bogus points are dropped then we can concentrate on what really matters and that's improving security.
OSS loses on security when compared directly to their closest closed source competitors. 3rd party browser? Opera (closed source) smokes Mozilla, big time. Operating System? Any closed source Unix smokes Linux, big time. They chant their little OSS mantras, over and over until they brainwash themselves into actually believing them. Then to have the cold water of facts thrown on them by us. Must suck to be stuck down at <10% and nobody care.
